  • 作词 : Traditional
    Let never a man a wooing wend
    That lacketh things three,
    A store of gold, and open heart,
    And full of charity;
    And this was seen of King Henry
    Though he lay quite alone,
    For he's taken him to a haunted hall
    Seven miles from the town.
    He's chased the deer now him before
    And the doe down by the den
    Till the fattest buck in all the flock
    King Henry he has slain.
    His huntsmen followed him to the hall
    To make them burly cheer,
    When loud the wind was heard to sound
    And an earthquake rocked the floor.
    And darkness covered all the hall
    Where they sat at their meat,
    The grey dogs, yowling, left their food
    And crept to Henry's feet.
    And louder howled the rising wind
    And burst the fastened door,
    And in there came a grisly ghost
    Stramping on the floor.
    Her head hit the roof-tree of the house,
    Her middle you could not span,
    Each frightened huntsman fled the hall
    And left the king alone,
    Her teeth were like the tether stakes,
    Her nose like club or mell,
    And nothing less she seemed to be
    Than a fiend that comes form hell.
    Some meat, some meat you King Henry,
    Some meat you give to me,
    Go kill your horse you King Henry
    And bring him here to me;
    He's gone and slain his berry brown steed
    Though it made his heart full sore,
    For she's eaten up both skin and bone
    Left nothing but hide and hair.
    More meat, more meat you King Henry
    More meat you give to me,
    Go Kill your greyhounds King Henry
    And bring them here to me;
    And when he's slain his good greyhounds,
    It made his heart full sore,
    She's eaten them up both skin and bone,
    Left nothing but hide and hair.
    More meat, more meat you King Henry
    More meat you give to me,
    Go fell your goshawks King Henry
    And bring them here to me;
    And when he's slain his gay goshawks,
    It made his heart full sore,
    She's eaten them up both skin and bone,
    Left nothing but feathers bare.
    Some drink, some drink now King Henry
    Some drink you give to me,
    Oh you sew up your horse's hide
    And bring in a drink to me,
    And he's sewed up the bloody hide
    And a pipe of wine put in,
    And she's drank it up all in one draught
    Left never a drop therein.
    A bed, a bed now King Henry,
    A bed you'll make for me,
    Oh you must pull the heather green
    And make it soft for me;
    And pulled has he the heather green
    And made for her a bed,
    And taken has he his gay mantle
    And o'er it he has spread.
    Take off your clothes now King Henry
    And lie down by my side,
    Now swear, now swear you King Henry
    To take me for your bride.
    Oh God forbid, says King Henry,
    That ever the like betide,
    That ever a fiend that comes from hell
    Should stretch down by my side.
    When the night was gone and the day was come
    And the sun shone through the hall,
    The fairest lady that ever was seen
    Lay between him and the wall.
    I've met with many a gentle knight
    That gave me such a fill,
    But never before with a courteous knight
    That gave me all my will
